SA Calouro Construction

The man who came out was fine. He did a great work. We just had a lot of trouble scheduling it. He did a good work and did it well once he did it but it literally took him months to get it scheduled and then he even tried to reschedule two days before but I got that scheduled. Maybe I would use him again in the future but I would also look at other contractors.

Steve came out to do an estimate, he examined what was there and also the wooden sill of the garage, which was rotting.  He suggested replacing any punky wood, and ended up replacing most of the sill.  He was responsive to my concerns about wanting to do this with sturdy materials, and ended up suggesting mahogany for the doors, which was a great solution - there has been a problem in the past, with moisture in that area of the yard.  So we talked about the design, he replicated what was there to the extent that he could, and did a nice job in constructing the new doors from scratch.
I would definitely recommend him to a friend.

I had been trying for years to find someone willing to do this job.  Steve was just wonderful to work with and really worked with me to find the best long-lasting solution to the problem of rotting doors.  He ended up hand-making mahogany doors to fit the space, and made them look as close as possible to the original ones.  He really did a beautiful job.  The doors look great and function much better than the old ones.  He was willing to talk about various possible materials and did exactly as I asked.  I couldn't be happier with the finished project.  An A+++++ carpenter and all-around contractor!

My mother's home needed a sixteen foot concrete porch removed, the wall behind it repaired (the wood was rotting), and siding placed where the concrete used to be.  We had a support beam replaced, new soffits installed, new columns installed, going from the beam to the ground.  New gutters were installed completely in the front of the house and rear of the house.  The landing at the top of the stairs was repaired.  The side of the stairs, where the porch used to be, was filled with sand and debris.  Steve, the owner, removed most of the debris and did extensive concrete repair to the side of the landing.  We added to the estimate halfway through to install a concrete slab underneath the columns instead of leaving it.  Sono tubes were installed in the ground for support as well.   Columns were painted.  First of all, this company came out right away to do an estimate.  Every other estimator made the job seem overhwhelming and would cost about $10,000 and possibly more.  Steve made the job sound simple, and he explained everything he did, every step of the way.  Last year, we had new granite and brick stairs installed, and they worked around that without damaging a thing.  He and Mike did superior work.  They showed up on time, and when they were going to miss a day (only one), Steve emailed me and let me know.  Most amazingly, they did not leave a mess.  At all.  They cleaned up their worksite, every single day.  My overall impression is that this company is honest, trustworthy, and that they are out to make a living, not a killing.  Their prices were excellent, their quality of work was outstanding, and Steve was very approachable with questions and referrals for other work we need to have to done on the property.  Highly, highly recommended.  We would have them back in a heartbeat. 

We only had about half of the work done, but they were extremely responsive and came right out. So far, so good. They were extremely prompt. They appeared to really know what they were doing. They did a great job on the roof repair and flashing.
